How we can help
Is this "live-in" care or shift work?
We offer flexible models to suit your needs, including rotating shifts, sleepover and overnight care, so someone is always alert and available. If live in care, where one caregiver stays with you, sounds like a better fit, just call our local care team on 1300 600 247 and we'll help you find the right option for your situation.
Is this cheaper than a nursing home?
24/7 home care is a premium service because it offers a 1 to 1 carer ratio, compared to the 1 to 15 ratio often found in facilities. While it's a financial investment, it allows your loved one to keep their home, their pets and their independence, which many families find priceless.
Can I use my government funding (Support at Home or NDIS)?
Yes. While 24/7 care often requires a private contribution due to the high number of hours, we can fully utilise your Support at Home funding or NDIS budget to cover a significant portion of the costs. If you're still waiting on approval, or would simply like to start sooner, you're welcome to begin privately and switch across once your funding is in place. Your Care Designer will help you structure the budget to make the most of your available government funds and keep your out of pocket expense to a minimum.
How quickly can we start?
We can often organise a 24/7 care team within 24-48 hours. Because this service can be accessed privately, there are no government assessments or waiting lists to navigate before we begin.
What if a caregiver calls in sick?
One of the biggest benefits of choosing a managed provider like ours is reliability. We have a large team of staff and support available around the clock, so if a regular caregiver is unwell, we'll arrange a replacement as quickly as possible and make sure you're never left without care.
Can we book this for short-term respite?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 care for short periods, such as post-operative recovery or while family caregivers go on holiday. You do not need to sign a long-term contract.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
We were introduced to Michael and Rebecca who were starting their new franchise when our dad was needing in home care. They were so understanding accomodating and listened to what was important to make mum and dad comfortable with carers coming into the home. I appreciated how easy they were to talk to and how they welcomed our feedback and adjusted whatever was needed and organised the most suitable carers. We are very greatful for their personal and wonderful care right through to his recent passing and beyond xxx

We are really greatfull for the nurse next door kiama team since coming on board to assist in the care of my grandparents 84 and 87 both different forms of dementia and multipul other heath problems. From the managment team to the care staff really are amazing and for my grandparents to accept is one thing and to like and interact is another and the nurse next door team have done just that and braught them out of there shell. By having the team come on board this has aloud for mr to spend more quality time with my partner and children alowing us some well earned time away and support our children in there sporting endevours.

Tanya Wagner
I feel very honoured to have been the very first client for Nurse Next Door at Kiama! I needed assistance after knee replacement surgery including showering, putting on and taking off surgical stockings and transport to my medical appointments. They also assisted me with some light household duties in the first week or so. Michael, Rebecca and especially Julie are such lovely people and gave me the confidence, reassurance and advice to get back on my feet in a month or so. They were kind enough to make arrangements so I didn't miss out on getting to see Keith Urban in concert again in Wollongong- we had such a fun night! I highly recommend this service - they helped me out so much and we had lots of fun along the way.
Karen Donnellan
I had a nurse from Nurse Next Door stay with me overnight while I did a prep for a procedures the next day. She prepared the medications, monitored my Blood sugar levels and blood pressure, and checked that I was safe all night. It was very comforting and made me feel that I would get through ii, and took away the anxiety. I was better with the nurse than I would have been hospital. I highly recommend this service
